Messrs. McCausland and Hook, from
the claims committee. recommended
that the fine against Robt. Sandifer,
Jr, be reduced from $25 to $l1
tor reasons which they had
examined and which mitigat-
ed the offense, the defendant having,
while an officer in the discharge of his
duty, incurred the enmity of the per-
sons with whom he had the difficulties.
On motion of Mr.. Russell the report
| was received and filed.
The mayor recommended the adop-
ton Of the committees report.
The city attorney opposed the sdop-
ton of the motion in a speech in which
he stated that Sandifer made two as
saults, and pleaded guilty on his own
motion, not at the suggestion OF the
city attorney, and that SaHdifer had
made the attacks wantonly and with
out provocation. And that Sandifar
is a young man in health, in health
enough to knock men down, and that
if, as is alleged, he had previously
been an officer he was IN that much
more Obliged to sustain instead of vic.
late the law.
The recommendation of the mayor
was sustained by the council, seven
ayes, one no. Mr.. Gray.
The city attorney said he desired to
read a protest.
Mr.. Russell objected. He said Mr.
Price had made one half hour speech
in this case without request or per
mission of the council; and the counci
did moi wish to hear him.
